You are awesome. Thanks a lot! :D

Is there a way to steam the milk without needing a special machine to do so?

there are some other things that can be done, but will not turn out the same. as far as frothing, or getting foam indicative of a Late or Capucinno, it can only be done with cold milk, a hand wand blender at the surface will do this. Also the milk can be heated up in the microwave, however the total effect is not quite the same. I have not tried frothing milk with a blender and then heating in the microwave, might be a two step process?

Thanks, sounds good. Too bad its late and the coffee shops are closed. ( Don't have an espresso machine yet )

I was wondering about the Hershey's syrup, thank's for confirming that it is functionally equivalent to the syrup in coffee bars. I just add it to regular coffee rather than adding sugar, it works well.
